If the company says "Sure, you can have them, but the premuim trigger goes to 85 hours," I say keep them out. If we can somehow get them "cost netural," jump on it.



Can't disagree here, except as someone already pointed out, Spirit is likely going to hit the DOT definition. Virgin America? Probably not since they're scaling back their growth.
Not to mention we recently had 2 pilots leave Virgin to come to JB. That must say something about their being a "destination carrier.
